Valerie Vaz

Labour — Walsall and Bloxwich

Speaking in the House of Commons on 3 November 2026

Debate

Poundland

Contribution

I, too, am a member of USDAW the union. My constituents want to work for Poundland, and they have helped it turn a profit at Midland Road in Walsall. Can the Minister ensure that USDAW is at the table in any negotiation? It has struck deals with Ikea and John Lewis, and its knowledge is valuable.
